We act like discrimination is a bad thing. In some instances, when we are discriminating against people, that could be good or bad depending on the situation. In other instances, discrimination can actually keep us alive. So lets define discrimination: The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the […]

Guilty or Not
In this country we are presumed innocent until found guilty. This is unique because in many countries you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent. However, while that is how it is supposed to be, that is not how it is these days. These days, people are tried by the news media based on what […]
Perspective
I never really pictured my wife as a person with positive perspective, but she taught me something new last week. In my opinion, a negative perspective can cloud and change your vision. This will make it more difficult to deal with things. Last week was crappy from one point of view for me. The new […]
The Past
In my state, the Governor, Lt Governor, and now the Attorney General are under fire for what they did way in the past. The only one that is probably legitimate is the Lt Governor. I do not get people. Why are we trying to hold people that did something that was considered acceptable at the […]

Matthew 18:12-14 New International Version (NIV) 12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about […]
Christians attacking Christians
About 4 to 5 years or so ago, a man teaching the young adults was using a book by a pretty famous TV evangelist. Everything was going good until two students thought that some of the information in the book did not sound right. So they went and told the pastor. The pastor got a […]
Getting drunk
My daughter just turned 21 and it started to make me think about her potentially being out and getting drunk. My wife and I tried to raise her right, but there is always the possibility that peer pressure will cause her to drink way too much and then do something foolish like drive home. Ephesians […]
